How to set up Apollo Twin and DAW routing for Mixing Engineer and Vocalist?

20181207

1. Play music from your Cubase, where Stereo Output is currently sent to MON L and MON R.
2. We need to switch Headphone Mix to get its source from itself instead of the MIX (full everything).
   1. Select Console > Cue Outputs (extreme right of the Console page)
   2. Change HP Source to HP.
   3. Now you should hear nothing on Headphone, but your Monitors are still playing.
3. We’re sending Stereo Out from Cubase DAW currently. But change! Instead of using MON L and MON R, use Virtual 1 and Virtual 2 now, so that we can control what is sent to the Headphone Mix  on the Apollo Twin jack. Save the preset setting in Cubase, so it is remembered.
4. However when you do that, both Virtuals are currently panned to Center as seen in Console > Overview. So your music sounds flat. Like MONO.
5. We need to pan Virtual 1 left and Virtual 2 right. Once you do that, your Stereo image music sounds correct.
6. We mute the Console > Overview > Mic input line, so our music Monitors don’t have to hear our Mic.
7. Now to let the Headphone Mix hear the Mic, click the Sends title in Console > Overview > Analog 2 (where your Mic is).
   1. Now you can adjust how much to send to your Headphone mix, by bringing up the volume under the column “HP”.
8. Similar, click on the Sends title for Virtual 1 and Virtual 2 , and send roughly -34.0 db to “HP”.
9. Now under Console > Control Room (right), you can select the various Sources – Mix, HP to switch between what is heard from Monitors and Headphone.

Now all we need is a SCREEN for vocalist to adjust the volume in Step 7.1 and Step 8, and the full Headphone Volume.
